Actually that behaviour is very annoying to other platforms. Mbin for example can only link to the lemmy server this user is on and no longer the local profile of that user.
Example:
gets converted to
[@ user @ lemmy.instance](https:// lemmy.instance/u/user
so on mbin this does not open the profile of the user on the local server, but instead links the lemmy instance, so you leave your instance to view the profile.
(spaces included so this won’t get converted to mentions, etc)
Yes they are, but you have my profile on your server and you do not need to leave the server to view my profile…
@ user @ lemmy.instance
should link tohttps:// mbin.instance/u/@user@lemmy.instance
and not tohttps:// lemmy.instance/u/user
